Historic Manchester mansion on sale for shockingly low price

MANCHESTER, N.H. (WMUR) -- If you have ever wanted to own a historic mansion for just a few thousand dollars, now is your chance.

A 20-bedroom, seven-bath home in downtown Manchester is up for sale at a mind-boggling price, but whoever buys it will need a moving van for more than just their belongings.

The former George B. Chandler home on Walnut Street is an ornate Queen Anne Victorian featuring 30 rooms, nearly 10,000 square feet and detailed work unheard of in modern construction. The owner and the builder ran the Amoskeag Mill in the late 1800s.

The house was later donated to the Catholic Diocese of Manchester and for a good part of the 20th century it was a residence for the bishop, which is why there's a chapel in one of the front rooms.
